@IshamMohamed @maaz93 Thank you. I will remove those.

After looking through the repo, I think only Dijkstra's is an invalid folder name. Note that it has an extra space at the end of the name and that is causing the problem.

Also, as per @IshamMohamed 's link, the following characters are invalid

< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)

Right now, only the space in Dijkstra's is causing the problem.

@maaz93 Thank you. I will remove the space.
